Fema piston-type solenoid valves are suitable for demanding applications, particularly in the field of heat, energy and gas technology.
All valves of the product groups mentioned below are automatically servo-assisted and may therefore be used from 0 bar to maximum
pressure. No minimum differential pressure is required. A DC coil is normally used. A rectifier is supplied for connection to a 230 VAC supply.

Mounting position
A vertical mounting position (solenoid system standing upright) is preferable if at all possible.
In general, the solenoid system should not hang downwards. In the case of Ex-solenoids, only
a vertical mounting position is permissible. For information about the mounting position of valves,
refer to the individual data sheets.
Installation location
Solenoid valves contain moving parts which are subject to natural wear.
Therefore, care must be taken to ensure that valves can be dismantled for repair.
Risk of freezing
If solenoid valves ar
that such temperatures may occur, the customer must take steps to ensure that valves cannot freeze
up — due to condensation for example.
Painting the solenoid
Solenoid coils must not be painted or lacquered, as this will hinder the dissipation of heat.
Stress-free mounting
Stresses from the pipe system acting on the valve can cause the piston to stick, hindering or even
preventing it from opening and closing.
The solenoid casing must on no account be used as a lever during mounting (key faces are cast on
the valve body for this purpose).

Faults and troubleshooting
If the valve does not function correctly, carry out the following checks:
1. Is the flow direction correct? Observe the arrow on the valve.
2. Is the power supply properly connected?
3
. Is the operating voltage present?
4. Does the operating voltage correspond to the details on the rating plate?
5. Is the rectifier in working order?
6. Is the solenoid coil in working order?
T
he condition of solenoid coils and rectifiers can easily be checked by carrying out resistance, current
and voltage measurements.
If the coils and rectifiers are satisfactory, solenoid actuators of the G 31 and G 35 series should give
the following readings:
Mains voltageCoil Coil current
230 V~ / =990–1050224 mA

All values are measured on the DC side, i.e. after the rectifier, and are for a solenoid temperature

of
The values are approximate. If the measured values deviate significantly from those shown in the table,
either the solenoid coil is faulty (broken or shorted coil) or the rectifier is damaged.
If a valve actuator with a DC coil is accidentally charged with alternating current at the same level, it
will not be damaged but the valve will not operate. Voltage measurements on the secondary side of
the rectifier without load (coil) are not meaningful, therefore you should never measure the DC voltage
with the system unplugged.
Replacing rectifiers on Ex-solenoid valves
Rectifiers on Ex-solenoid valves must only be replaced by an authorised electrician. The greatest care
must be taken, with due observance of safety regulations.
The following procedure must be observed:
1. Turn off the power and remove the terminal box cover.
2. Disconnect and remove the connection cable.
Undo the M6 Allen scr
3.
NB: Remove the terminal housing carefully to avoid tearing the coil connection wires.
4. Remove the clip (to do this you have to undo the two M3 screws).
5. Pull off the connection wire to the coil. NB: Use thin-nosed pliers and grip it by the plug; do not pull
it by the connection cable (otherwise the coil wire may be torn off).
6. Detach the connecting wire on the primary side of the rectifier at the cable guides (use open-ended
